Is there such a thing as too much to do? Yes, and this weekend epitomizes it. If you can’t find anything to do this weekend, then you really aren’t trying very hard, and should probably stay in anyways because you might be more of a buzzkill than this weather. Everyone else – check out the list below, pick something or things, and go there! Sorry, all this rain is really fuckin’ harshing our mellow, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to try and drink until our bodies are numb and things seem fun. You should too. Just don’t get arrested. Cheers!
